As at 1200 hours UTC 3 September
Position: N47 50 87 W017 00
38 Distance
run over 24 hours: 132 NM
Motored last 24 hours with light tailwind so low
revs giving reasonable boatspeed. Fuel might be a problem but enough to get to
an Irish port. Shakwe is an awkward boat to manouvre in enclosed spaces so I'd
rather not have to re-fuel there.
Jim doing good work but not happy about the long
distances and continuous stress of the unknown. This might be his last big
trip.
Stern gland leak no worse but I've got Steve
Ferris' excellent Denzil tape handy!
Oul Grumpy Jim and Happy
ish Jim
